Ingress

Configure Quality of Service (QoS) for packets entering the device. Ingress denotes packets

arriving into the 6381 from a WAN or LAN interface. The mappings are converted to CoS.

QoS can be configured on a per interface basis. Select the interface — USB, Ethernet, Bridge —

which needs to be configured.

Ingress Untrusted Mode

Untrusted is the default Ingress page setting for all interfaces. In this mode, no domain mapping

is honoured in the RG. All packets are treated as CoS6 (best effort)

Untrusted

The default Ingress page setting. No domain mapping is honoured. All packets are

treated as CoS6, the best effort priority.

Layer2

Enables you to map an incoming packet with layer 2 (MAC addresses and bridging,

rather than by IP address and routing) with VLAN segregation for priority. Only

configurable on WAN interfaces.

Layer3

Enables you to map type of service (ToS) bits of incoming packets from the IP

network to CoS for each WAN/LAN interface.

Static

Enables you to configure a static CoS for all packets received on a WAN or LAN

interface.

To configure QoS on ingress:

1.

From the navigation bar at the top of the screen click

Advanced

2.

From the left hand navigation pane select

Ingress

.

3.

On the

Ingress

page, select the interface from the

Interface

drop down.

4.

Select the appropriate

Untrusted

,

Layer3

, or

Static

radio button.

5.

Ingress Layer 2 Configuration

Layer 2 page enables you to map an incoming packet with VLAN priority to CoS. This feature is

only configurable on the WAN interfaces as VLAN is only supported on the WAN side in the

current software release.

Interface

Select the WAN interface here to configure the CoS for incoming traffic. Only

WAN interface can be selected as VLAN is currently supported only on the WAN

side.

Class of Service

The selections are (in the order of descending priority): CoS1, CoS2, CoS3,

CoS4, CoS5, and CoS6.

User Priority

The selections are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

To configure Ingress Layer 2 to CoS:

1.

From

Interface

drop-down box, select PPPoE to configure QoS on this WAN interface.

2.

Select

CoS1

in

Class of Service

and

5

in

Priority Bits

.

Any packets with priority marking 5 is mapped to CoS1, the highest priority that is normally

given to the voice packets.

3.

Click

Apply

to temporarily activate the settings.

4.

Select

CoS2

in the

Class of Service

field and

1

in the

Priority Bits

field.

Any packets that have priority bits of 1 are mapped to CoS2, which is the second highest

priority. This is given to the high priority packets such as video.

5.

Click

Apply

to temporarily activate the settings.

The changes take effect when you click Apply; however, if the RG configuration is not saved,

these changes will be lost upon RG reboot.

6.

Repeat step 2-5 to add more rules to PPPoE1.

Up to eight rules can be configured for each interface.

Any priority bits that have not been mapped to a CoS default to CoS6, the lowest priority.

7.

Repeat step 1-6 to create rules to another WAN interface.

Any WAN interface that is not configured has the default Untrusted mode.

Ingress Layer 3 Configuration

The Layer 3 page allows you to map ToS bits of incoming packets from the IP network to CoS for

each WAN/LAN interface.

Interface

For both WAN and LAN interfaces, you can configure QoS for layer 3 (IP) data

traffic.

Class of Service

This CoS field allows you to map incoming layer 3 WAN/LAN packets to one of

the following CoS (in the order of descending priority): CoS1, CoS2, CoS3,

CoS4, CoS5, and CoS6.

ToS

The type of service field takes values from 0 to 255.

Default Non IP

A static CoS can be assigned to all layer 3 incoming packets (per interface) that

do not have an IP header, such as PPP control packets and ARP packets. The

default is CoS1 (recommended).

To configure Ingress Layer 3 to CoS:

1.

From

Interface

drop-down box, select

LAN Group 1

to configure QoS on this interface.

2.

Select

CoS1

in

Class of Service

and enter

22

in Type of Service (

ToS

).

6381-A4 Router Users Guide

99

Any incoming packet from LAN Group 1 (layer 3) with a ToS of 22 is mapped to CoS1, the

highest priority, which is normally given to the voice packets.

3.

Leave the default value CoS1 in Default Non-IP.

Any incoming packet from LAN Group 1 without an IP is mapped to CoS1, the highest

priority.

4.

Click

Apply

to temporarily activate the settings.

The changes take effect when you click

Apply

; however, if the RG configuration is not

saved, these changes will be lost upon RG reboot.

5.

Repeat step 2-4 to add more rules to LAN Group 1.

Up to 255 rules can be configured for each interface.

Any ToS that have not been mapped to a CoS is treated as CoS6, the lowest priority.

6.

Repeat step 1-5 to create rules to another WAN/LAN interface.

Any WAN/LAN interface that is not configured has the default Untrusted mode.

Ingress Static Configuration

The Ingress - Static page enables you to configure a static CoS for all packets received on a

WAN or LAN interface.

To configure Ingress static QoS settings:

1.

At the

Interface

drop-down box, select

Ethernet

.

You are configuring QoS on this interface only. Any WAN/LAN interface that is not

configured has the default Untrusted mode.

2.

Select

CoS1

in

Class of Service

.

All incoming traffic from the Ethernet interface receives CoS1, the highest priority.

3.

Click

Database page enables you to classify packets on the basis of various fields in the packet.

The following fields can be configured for QoS:

•

CoS

•

Source IP address/mask

•

Destination IP address/mask

•

Protocol

•

Source port start

•

Source port end

•
